3 Ideas for the WeekArt is a way in which humans seek knowledge from the senses; ultimately becoming indistinguishable from ones own mental reality.Art is a scientific process and a crafted technology; one that often results in academies, schools of thought/criticism, and cycles of Avant Garde. Art often communicates historical, ethical, iconographic, religious, and thematic representations of the human condition, often summarized in the question what is beautiful?

The true order of going is to use the beauties of the earth as steps along which to mount upwards for the sake of that other beauty: from fair forms to fair practices, and from fair practices to fair notions until he arrives at the idea of absolute beauty
